DE2335787A1 - Drawing lettering template - has ribs securing enclosed character portions only where pencil strokes end - Google Patents

Abstract

The template is of transparent material, out of which the individual letters of the alphabet, both small and capitals, are cut, also numbers from 1 to 9. Where an individual character has an enclosed central portion, this is joined to the outside by one or more ribs, these being situated solely at the points where the pencil strokes begin or end. The ribs can taper from the top to the bottom of the template, ending clear of the bottom face, and they can be so situated as to mask only a straight portion of the pencil stroke.

Font template

The invention relates to a script template, consisting of a plate made of transparent material, from which the individual letters of the alphabet in upper and lower case and the numbers lull to leun are milled and the writing instrument form leading luten, with those letters and numbers which have a self-contained identity? the inner area is connected to the outer area of the plate by at least one web _o

closed, with the result that the area surrounded by the hat inner area of the disc falling out because it with the outer portion of the plate no more compound has · In such a template is to say for example the letter ^K Q "and the number" 0 "as the oval cutout so that a hat leading the writing instrument on both sides is omitted and the writing instrument is only guided on the outside, so "on the edge of this cutout". This makes it necessary, however, that the writing instrument is constantly against the hand when using this template This cutout must be pressed in order to transfer the respective letter or number cleanly onto the object to be written on an imaginary cone shell must be moved, the tip of which is roughly in the wrist of the user li Working with such a stencil therefore poses certain difficulties, since there is a risk that the writing instrument will slip away from the edge of the cutout in the absence of internal guidance if the writing instrument is not pressed sufficiently hard against this edge, causing a unclean writing results. This problem is particularly strong in appearance when such templates are found in the context of an educational program for children Vorsohulalter or for physically handicapped children use _o

Now, although for labeling boxes od _or the like "so-called" box templates "known, which consist of a metal plate from which the individual letters and digits of a specific text are punched out to obtain which have in those numbers and letters, a self-contained trace , the inner area is connected to the outer area of the sheet metal plate by a web

is bound. In connection with such box templates, however, a different labeling technique is used than with the font templates described above Since the areas of the box covered by the bars are not covered with parbe, a characteristic typeface results, which is generally referred to as "box script". The bars connecting the inner areas to the outer area of the metal plate are therefore arranged from purely strength-related points of view ₀ With the number "0" or with the letter "0" is the inner. Area connected to the outer area of the sheet metal plate by a web arranged at the top and bottom. If you _{wanted to use such a box template in connection with a writing implement such as SSeB 0,} a pencil or an ink pen, the writing implement would have to reach the left edge of the The lower web is lifted from the paper, passed over the web and placed back onto the paper at the right edge of the web, in order to then complete the lettering up to the right edge of the upper web, whereupon the letter "0" or the number "0 "After lifting the template in the area of the two webs must be completed with the free hand · The necessary lifting of the writing instrument in the area of the web is contrary to a liquid writing Children are completely unsuitable because they have the inapplicable Vo to convey that letters or digits, which form a self-contained

409885/0237

Show line;, consist of two parts, what made learning to write or read more difficult, of course

The invention is therefore based on the object of creating a writing template in which the writing implement even with letters or digits that have a self-contained line on both sides is guided, the web required to hold the inner region of the template being arranged in this way shallj that it does not stand in the way of fluent writing and these letters or numbers are transferred to the surface with the same writing movement as it is also used when writing without a template ο

According to the invention, this object is achieved in that the web is arranged exclusively at the point ₉ at which the writing movement begins and / or ended

The inventive arrangement of the 'webs is it enables the user of the font template to write the individual letters or numbers with the same writing movement to be transferred to the base, as is usually done when writing without a script template wirdo The script template according to the invention is suitable therefore not only excellent for learning to write, but it also leaves a fluent one Notation of what makes it possible to use it in the context of a teaching program for physically handicapped children in the first place «

Since the area of the line that is covered by the web after lifting the font template from the free Hand must be supplemented is in a further development

the font template according to the invention provided that the letters or numbers are designed in such a way that the bar covers a straight area of the line «, This measure makes working with the font template according to the invention even easier, since A straight line can of course be added more easily from the free hand than a more curved one

The web can also be designed in such a way that it extends from the top to the bottom of the template This configuration of the web makes it possible by corresponding pivoting of the writing instrument to move the nib under the bridge, which shortens the area of the line to be completed O

If a somewhat thicker plate made of sufficiently resistant material is selected for the production of the script template, the web can also be made thinner than the plate, so that the tapered web ends at a distance above the underside of the template. This configuration of the web makes it possible to move the writing instrument so far under the web from both sides that subsequent completion of the area covered by the web is unnecessary.

The invention is explained in more detail below with the aid of some exemplary embodiments shown in the drawings illustrated it shows;

not fall out discontinued inner regions of the disk, they must be connected to the outer region of the plate via at least one web 3, d _o h _o that the milled groove 4 must not be closed in itself. So that this web, which covers the line, does not "hinder the user when writing, it is arranged exclusively at the point at which the writing movement begins" and / or ends _{or the like}

At the letter ¹¹ A "the normal writing movement begins at the lower end of the left leg, leads upwards and then down again to the lower end of the right leg, where the writing implement is lifted off * Then the horizontal connecting branch is drawn through from left to right is therefore arranged at the left and right end of the horizontal connecting branch, where it does not interfere with the normal writing movement. The area covered by the web can be added without difficulty after lifting the writing template by extending the horizontal connecting branch with your free hand "

With the letter "B" one usually first writes the left vertical branch and then writes the right curved line «. For this purpose, the writing instrument is set up and lifted off on the design of the two semi-circles below It is therefore respective web at the top and arranged on-the lower end of the curved polyline, so that this can be performed with a single writing movement ₀

The letter "D" is also written first the left vertical branch, and then write the right curved line “For this purpose the writing instrument is attached to the top and after finishing

supply this polyline _"o lifted down, the webs are therefore above and below, d _o h _o at the beginning of the end -and-" arcuate line train arranged so that this with
can be performed in a single movement »

In the case of the letter "0", the writing movement usually begins at the highest area where it is after Completion of the full circle stops again. The web is therefore arranged in this upper area, so that the letter "0" can be executed with a single movement of the hand without having to put down the writing instrument »

In the case of the letter "P", the vertical branch is usually pulled through from top to bottom, whereupon the writing implement is lifted and placed again in the upper area to draw the semicircle through »
The webs are therefore at the top and bottom of the
Arranged in a semicircle, doho at the point ah the the
Writing movement for the semicircle begins and ends so that it can be carried out in one go, _etc.

The spelling of the letter "Q" is basically the same as that of the letter "0", which is why the bar is arranged in the upper area for the same reasons »

The spelling of the letter "E." is basically the same as that of the letter "P", which is why the bars here at the top and bottom
of the semicircular line are ₀

The template shown in 3? Ig _o 2 contains the letters of the alphabet in lower case »Of these, the following letters have a self-contained line: CL, b, d, e, Q , o, p, q. and ß _e

When the letter "et" the writing instrument is usually right set up and moved after the completion of a complete circle in the counterclockwise direction to form the vertical leg down and lifted The web is therefore arranged between the upper end of the Yollkreises and the vertical leg, d _o h _o at the point where the writing movement begins "

In the case of the letter "b", the writing instrument is usually placed at the upper end of the vertical branch, moved downwards and then moved upwards again along a full circle in a clockwise direction «. The web is therefore disposed between the lower end of the vertical branch and Yollkreises, d _o h ₀ at the point at which ended the writing movement

At the letter "d", the writing instrument is usually attached to the top right end of the full circle, moved counterclockwise and then upwards and down again. The bridge is therefore between the upper end of the Yollkreis and the vertical one Branch arranged, doho at the point where the writing movement beginsο

In the case of the letter "e", the writing instrument is usually placed at the left inner end of the horizontal branch, moved to the right and then moved counterclockwise along the curved line »The web is therefore arranged between the left end of the horizontal branch and the curved line area d _o h ₀ at the point where the writing movement begins ο

The letter "g" is usually the same Writing movement carried out as with the letter

"α", so that here the web is also arranged between the upper end of the vertical branch and the full circle, doh. at the point where the writing movement begins, _etc.

When the letter "o", the notation is the same as in upper case, so that also here the web in the upper range, d _o h _o is disposed at the beginning of the full circle, it can be which, therefore, carried out in the usual way in a train ₀

In the case of the letter "p", the writing instrument is usually placed at the upper end of the vertical branch, moved downwards and then moved upwards again, whereupon the semicircle is executed in a clockwise direction «. The web is therefore disposed between the vertical branch and the lower end of the semicircle, d _o h _o at the end of writing movement "

The spelling of the letter "q" is basically the same as that of the letter "α. ¹¹ , which is why the web is arranged here between the upper end of the vertical branch and the full circle, since this is where the writing movement begins.

In the case of the letter "ß", the writing instrument is usually placed at the lower end of the vertical branch, moved up and down and then moved down again to form two semicircles the point at which the writing movement ends so that this letter can be executed in one go, _etc.

The template according to Figo 3 contains the digits 0 to 9, of which the digits 0, 6, 8 and 9 show a self-contained line. "

409885/0237

The spelling of the number "O" is the same as that of the letter "0", so that the web for the reasons already mentioned is also in the upper area of the Full circle is arranged.

In the case of the number "6", the writing instrument is usually placed at the top right and then moved counterclockwise along a spiral. The web is therefore arranged at the lower inner end of the spiral, d ₀ h ₀ at the point where the writing movement ends, so that this number can be executed in one go.

When the digit "8", the writing instrument is usually set right above the crossing point is moved in a counterclockwise direction and moved to reach the crossing point "clockwise The webs are therefore above bwz ₀ arranged on the right to the left below the crossing point, d ', e. At the points at which the writing movement begins and ends, _etc.

When the numeral "9", the writing instrument is moved clockwise along a spiral, the web is therefore disposed at the right inner end of the spiral, Doho at the point at which the writing movement begins _o

The template according to Figo 3 also contains some mathematical characters, of which the sign "/ o" two closed full circles having ₀ As the notation of this solid circles is the same as the number "0" is also the ridge in the uppermost portion of the Kreiees arranged where the writing movement usually ends ended

or digits, which have a self-contained line, the web, which connects the inner area of the plate enclosed by this line of lines with the outer area of the plate, each arranged at the point at which the writing movement begins and / or ends _o This circumstance As a result, these letters or numbers can be transferred to the surface with the same writing movement as is usually used when writing without a template, since this writing movement is not interrupted by the webs.

These letters or numbers are also designed in such a way that the area of the line that is covered by the web is straight, since experience has shown that a straight line from the free hand can be added more easily than a curved _{or similar line}

When ig shown _o 4 at 3 embodiment of the signature card is a special feature is that the web 3 seen from dör top to the bottom of the stencil 1 towards tapered left and right of the ridge 3 are portions of the milled hat 4., With this design of the web, the writing instrument can be moved in a tilted position with the writing tip under the web, so that the area of the line that is to be added later is shortened «,

Ends at the embodiment according to IIg _e 5 extending downwardly tapering web 3 at a distance above the bottom of the stencil 1 ₀ The web 3 has for reasons of stability in approximately the same cross section as that according to Mg "4, the stencil 1 bzwo the plate is, however, a little thicker »In this embodiment, the inner area of a letter
